As you can imagine, while I’m still on my first month of caring for my newborn, I’m binging on a fair share of Netflix, and was thoroughly inspired by Nadiya’s croissant pudding while watching Nadiya Bakes! This recipe from Episode 5 “Bakes to Share” required very minimal ingredients and was done in almost no time…

Chocolate Wool Roll Bread
And so, the last 2 weeks of being a new mum has been exhausting to say the least! It’s been both exciting and overwhelming taking care of a newborn, especially when I’ve had an emergency c-section. But, I was getting bored of lying in bed binging on Disney+ while breastfeeding every few hours. I wanted…
Spicy Peanut Sauce Pulled Pork Samwich
It’s International Sandwich day on November 3rd and what better way to celebrate than to create a peanut butter sandwich #unlikeanyother… Or shall I say samwich? The savoury pulled pork in this sandwich is cooked in a peanut sauce similar to what we would dip our satay and fresh spring rolls in. In Southeast Asia,…
2-Ingredient Peanut Butter Crepe
Here’s a super simple crepe you could make using only 2 ingredients! And yes, you’ve probably already figured out that peanut butter would be one of them from reading the title š These crepes are thin and delicate and so simple to make! They’re perfect for weekend brunches that are done in no time. And…
Beef Cheeseburgers
It’s been a week since our lockdown here has ended in Singapore. (Yes, it IS a lockdown. “Circuit Breaker” and “Phase 1” were just alternative terms) But I must say that I’ve adapted a little too well with self-isolation. The past 3 months have consisted of unending kitchen experiments almost on a daily basis. I’ve…
Char Siew (Chinese BBQ Pork)
So most of us are pretty well acquainted with this Chinese BBQ Pork aka Char Siew (or Cha Siu) that gained international popularity. It would frequently make an appearance with dim sum, but is also often paired with rice or noodles. Every country seems to have a slightly different version of it, but the main…
Soft and Fluffy Tri-Coloured Milk Bread
I’ve always loved Asian style soft, fluffy milk bread, and with the current lockdown in place, what better to do than make your own? This recipe doesn’t require a bread machine and the dough is simple and easy to knead. It is also completely optional to colour them, especially if you’re not a fan of…
Brown “Nasi” Lemak
The word “lemak” in Nasi Lemak means fat / creamy; both of which are probably what one would avoid when preparing for a wedding. Having grown up in Southeast Asia, I absolutely love all things coconut, and the creamy coconut-ty rice in Nasi Lemak is probably my favourite type of rice (next to chicken rice)….
Almond Pear Tart
We’re not quite on lockdown mode yet as with some countries already are. Malls, bars and attractions are still opened, with caution of a 250 people capacity limit. Who knows when this may change, as with the constant breaking news you hear from all around the world. Because in the world of epidemiology, time moves…
Pan-Seared Steak with Red Wine Sauce
Juicy, succulent and tender, with every bite packed with a punch of flavour that leaves a yearning for the next, a beautifully cooked steak is the epitome of the culinary world. And yet, it is also at the same time probably the most cost-efficient dish in the history of fine dining. With the perfect cut…
Rendang Kambing
If I truly am what I eat, I’d probably be 30% chicken, 30% beef, 30% pork and 10% lamb. Lamb is in fact one of my favourite meats, but unfortunately isn’t as widely available as I’d like it to be. Whenever an opportunity presented itself, I would most certainly jump at it to indulge in…
Toblerone Fudge Brownies with Crinkly Crust
“Brownies are the easiest to make.” That’s what they say… and I doĀ agree to an extent. These bad boys usually don’t need any creaming or whipping. Just mix it all up in a bowl and bake it in the oven! Poof! You’re done… also on the condition that you didn’t try to changeĀ the recipe. Now,…
